[Jules]

So who was in the Qualifying Round?

[mad dog]

As the current holder I'd expect to have a bye into the next round

[Ashers]

I bet I go out again like in phase 1, without even knowing my oppenent.

[Jules]

I bet I go out again like in phase 1, without even knowing my oppenent.

Not a chance Ashers... You posted the highest score of the weekend with 58 points.

2nd Round 9th Jan
With 6 and 5 representatives, the Prem and Division 2 dominate the draw for the second round. Its no coincidence that it has thrown up 3 David v Goliath encounters;
Miles v Barry - the ulimate in giant versus minnows. Miles, doing well in the overall game with the top Seasonal Minileague versus SDT virgin Bazza.
SDHough v Tomuk - A battle of opposites - One has a La Log Premiership title to his name, the other is a mere 14 games under his belt. One's mouthy, the other is meek. One's going to go through and one isnt
Ashers v Doc The current Premiership leader v the current form player. Top scorer for the last 3 weekends on the trot.... its not clear who is David and who is Goliath in this match up.

The Championship has just two teams remaining. Leader Goldenshilling faces Prem struggler DrBell. Meanwhile, Birchy is up against Division 2 leader Jules.

Theres one all Premiership game as Mistercuts takes on La Log veteran Ton.

DC v Grob
Barry v Miles_T
Goldenshilling v Dr Bell
NateDoggLFC v SL8
sdhough v Tomuk
Birchy v Jules
Mistercuts v TheTon
Ashers v The Doc

[tomuk76]

David v goliath maybe but its more like..

faye,pantsil,fabregas & torres v terry, G johnson, dunn and eduardo!

[Zimmerman]

Owing to the extraordinary weather (and the fact only 2 games have been played, this weeks La Log cup games have been cancelled.

Rescheduling it is tricky so here is the solution;

We will use the midweek fixtues at the end of the month.
However - 4 teams dont have a game (Man U, Hull, Man City and Stoke).
Therfore we will use the Carling Cup game between Man U and Man C (from the 19th). Hull and Stoke will not have a fixture

I have tried to look at other possibilities (using FA Cup games etc) but cannot see a fairer alternative.

Stoke will possibly be the biggest hit, but I cant imagine many being affected by Hull's lack of fixture.

Remaining Fixtures
16-Jan Last 16
26-Jan* Quarters
30-Jan Semi Finals
06-Feb Cup Final

* and the Man City v Man Utd Carling Cup fixture from the 19th

[Zimmerman]

Its certainly the turn of the underdog... all 5 of Division 2's representatives progress to the next round.

Miles, sdhough and the Doc all Premiership teams and all felled by their poor relations from Division 2.

No teams from the Championship remain.

[tomuk76]

Well done Jules. Rooney has won you the match.

Isnt the next round next week?

[Ashers]

Well done Jules. Rooney has won you the match.

Isnt the next round next week?

Your right - says the 26th plus Man Utd vs Man City.

Thank god.

[Jules]

Well done Jules. Rooney has won you the match.

Yeah, this round is played with the midweek matches. I'm hoping you'll be saying the same thing about Rooney next week though

[Zimmerman]

Once again, the underdogs triumph.
The remaining Premiership teams are disposed of;
Dr Bell at the hands of Division 2's Barry and Mistercuts at the hands of Division 1's Natedogg.

In the all Division 2 clashes, form team Ashers destroys Jules and TomUk just about squeezes past Grob.

Quarter Finals
Ashers 39 v 12 Jules
Mistercuts 30 v 35 NateDoggLFC
Dr Bell 30 v 35 Barry
Tomuk 30 v 28 Grob

This could be a interesting game.

Would rather play Tomuk than the other two.

[NateDoggLFC]

How on earth did that happen??!!

I thought half my team were out!!!

[mad dog]

No offence to any of the other semi-finalists but go on Nate, second time lucky mate
